Dignity does not come in possessing honors, but in deserving
them. ~ Aristotle

Do not think of knocking out another person's brains because he
differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock
yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years
ago. ~ Horace Mann

Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a
great empire and little minds go ill together. ~ Edmund Burke (born 12

Society is indeed a contract... it is not a partnership in
things subservient only to the gross animal existence of a
temporary and perishable nature. It is a partnership in all
science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue,
and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be
obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only
between those who are living, but between those who are to be born.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and
Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. ~ Edmund Burke (born 12

We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most
powerful law of nature, and the means perhaps of its conservation.

The people never give up their liberties but under some

Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his
judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it
to your opinion. ~ Edmund Burke (born 12 January 1729)

The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a
moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again: and
a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered. ~

Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice,
neither, in my opinion, is safe. ~ Edmund Burke

1 Kalki 15:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC) I would say the same is
true of any man, even those who presume themselves most
logical.

Every bullet which leaves the barrel of a police pistol now is
my bullet. If one calls this murder, then I have murdered: I
ordered all this. I back it up. I assume the responsibility, and I
am not afraid to do so. ~ Hermann Göring (born January 12)

admirable quality. Zarbon 04:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The victor will always be the judge, and the vanquished the
accused. ~ Hermann Göring (born January 12)

4 because next to the victor, the weak shall be the vanquished.
A magnificent narrative of Darwinism, where the strong survive and
the weak perish. Zarbon 17:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

2 Kalki 15:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Sometimes there are
victories where no one is vanquished, but ignorance and delusion
are, and sometimes there are victories with no victors, and
ignorance and confusion seem to reign supreme in the affairs of
humankind. Reality is the ultimate judge of all, and it is neither
victor, for there are none who can truly oppose it, nor is it ever
vanquished by fools who pit themselves against much of what they
can perceive of it — it simply IS what it IS — and includes all the
efforts, defeats and triumphs of mortal minds as a subordinate part
of itself — it is not a subordinate part of them.

You could not claim for yourself that which you were not
prepared to grant others. ~ Pieter Willem Botha (born January

morality, compensation isn't always had. Zarbon 03:44, 27 April

I never have the nagging doubt of wondering whether perhaps I am
wrong. ~ Pieter Willem Botha (born January

2 because sometimes thinking too much of one's own errors would
cause further errors, like a chain reaction, so to speak. Zarbon
03:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

1 Kalki 15:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC) or sometimes it might
actually result in a greater level of enlightenment than that which
is ever held by those so arrogant and presumptuous that they refuse
to wonder if they perhaps might be wrong about things. No one wise
can ever truly condone such levels of arrogance and
presumption.

Men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge
their fetters. ~ Edmund Burke (date of birth)

political fetters, yet it is one of the keys to personal
liberation.
